Artist Spotlight: Brandi Read

Artist Brandi Read questions what is “set in stone” with regard to gender and how women are perceived through a series of paintings inspired by classical art and imagery. Read hails from Kalamazoo, Michigan and currently lives and works in Bahrain. She submitted her work to our new Submissions section and was selected as an Editors’ Pick. Consider participating here if you have a project you’d like to share. See more images below.
